Hi all. I'm trying to confirm if the part Pipe Fuel Feed - Honda (17700-SV4-931) is in fact the fuel line that supplies fuel from the tank to the engine. As in, the WHOLE line. I've been searching for fuel lines for my 1997 Accord LX coupe. The pressurized line rusted. If this is indeed a suitable replacement, then it's possible for me to order it, and install it or have someone install it. Then I'll be able to drive it. Lol

So if you are looking to replace the high pressure side steel line from the fuel tank to the fuel filter the Honda part number is the one that you posted. 17700-SV4-931

yes that is a plug and play part for your car, if you can order it it will bolt right in. I will suggest that you purchase a new fuel filter, Honda (16010-ST5-E02), at the same time. it will same a lot of time tring to get the fiting out of the bottom of the filter. Just remove the banjo bolt form the top and cut the line form the bottom.

 

Thank you for that. As soon as I can get the part, I'll try that. Any other suggestions?

 

If you have access to a flaring tool buying some steel fuel line, fittings and making your own might be a cheaper option.

 

I've looked into it. And, it's roughly about the same. I mean, I would have to buy the flaring tool. Then, I'd need to bend the line, etc. If I can't get the part I mentioned, I think I'd look at replacing the lines with PTFE lines that are wrapped in nylon or woven steel. If I have the car long enough, I might do that anyway. Lol

 

If you do have to make one yourself, I wouldn't bother with with PTFE or anything nylon. IMO your best bet is copper nickle fuel line. Buy it by the roll at pretty much any auto parts store. I guess that is easy for me to say, as over the years I have picked up tube benders, 2 different flaring tools and brake and fuel line fitting kits. You can find some pretty decent kits on Amazon. If I remember correctly there may even be a few complete with line, fittings and tool(s).

 

So, I have another question. IF I did use PTFE or something (it might be easier for me since I don't have a bending tool, or knowledge), what fittings would I use to connect the line to the filter? I'm only asking because I want to get on this. But, trying to find that actual line in stock is ridiculous. At least I'm not looking to cut a hole in my car to get to the fuel pump. 🙃

 

I am not 100% sure what fittings they used in those 2 locations. I would put a bet on them being metric though...lol

 

So, I have another question. Since I am considering getting a new filter, as well. Should I just get an inline one that goes under the car? Or use one that replaces the stock one at the normal mounting point? I'm just thinking that if I got an inline one, then it's easier to get to, if I need to. And, I can just run the line up to the fuel rail. Right? Or, is there a specific reason for the filter to be where it is?

 

Yes, you can run an aftermarket inline fuel filter, you can put it anywhere you want. There is no need to put it back where it was. Where it is now is a PITA to get to. I would put it up in the engine bay, away from anything hot of course, vs under the car. Too each his own though.

 

Thank you for that. Yes. Putting it away from heat is a great idea. I'll just have to figure that part out. Any suggestions, as I look? I figure it doesn't hurt to ask while I'm also looking. Lol
